Tony McGurk talks to MRW

We were delighted to be asked to feature in Materials Recycling World by Andrea Lockerbie.

Tony chats to Andrea about the benefits of a Digital DRS and how Reward4Waste is best set to tackle a Digital DRS, working alongside existing waste infrastructure.

In this interview, Tony explains how Reward4Waste

  • Changes consumer behaviour through rewarding people for good recycling behaviour

  • Tracks and traces provenance of individual packaging through the circular economy

  • Can be used across all materials, plastic, glass, tin and textiles

  • Our proven trial in Whitehead NI shows Reward4Waste is inclusive of all demographics

  • Was created to make a positive difference to the waste crisis
